JNU Slogans Controversy: FIR Against JNUSU Leaders as BJP Slams 'Urban Naxals'

Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is witnessing a fresh political storm after controversial slogans were allegedly raised against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. The protest, organised by left-wing student groups, marked the anniversary of the 2020 campus violence and opposed the Supreme Court's denial of bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam. The JNU administration has filed a complaint naming JNUSU President Aditi Mishra and Vice President Gopika Babu. The BJP has condemned the incident, branding the protesters as 'urban Naxals', while the students defended the slogans as an ideological expression of dissent. The controversy has once again placed the university at the centre of a national debate on freedom of speech and nationalism.
